How Do I Break Up With Someone I'm Not Even Dating?!

It has been a year since I met this guy. He's not my type at all but I gave it a try anyway. He's very sweet and always there for me. However, a few months ago I did decide that I couldn't be with him and told him. He was upset but said ok. But now it seems like I never said anything, the way he acts. He even asked to spend Valentine's Day with me...in a way more than just friends! Help! I want us to be plutonic friends but not hurt his feelings

    Just tell him exactly but nicely how u really feel about him and how you would feel more comfortable and would rather be friends w/ him  instead of dating. And maybe tell him why
    but don't just throw it at him and then never talk to him.
    Hope this helps

      It seems like he is in denial, and he thinks the nicer he is to you that maybe you will stay with him. It is very hard to hurt a good friend's feelings, but in this case I think it needs to be done. I am glad you haven't been trying to lead him on, but even after talking to him, it must not have been clear that you just want to be friends. Since you know you have already broken up with him, I would consider writing him a letter, to explain how you feel about him and how important his friendship is to you. Talking to him in person would probably be very uncomfortable, and he may not let you say everything that needs to be said. I wish you the best of luck, I hope you find someone that IS perfect for you :)

        Tell him plain and clear in case you have forgotten i just want to be friends and nothing more sorry I'm not trying to hurt your feeling but this is how it is we talked about this subject a while back ween him off just tell him and then if he calls or something just ignore his calls or if you see him in public and he ask about u not calling say u are busy and don't have time to talk.

        If he was an annoying person then I'd probably avoid him but I can't do that when he's done so much for me. I just don't want him thinking there's a future that way for us

        You are so beautiful you don't have to worry about it, just take advantage of who ever you want and don't look back. Isn't that the first rule taught to all of you?

        No one should ever take advantage of anyone...
